August 23, 20214 yr Turns Out The Hardest Part of Making a Game Is...Everything Interesting reading. My education and background is electronics engineering. So I have some experience in coding. But the first programming language I learned was Fortran and last (and the only one I was any good at) was C++. Nowhere NEAR as complex at what is used today. People get down on game devs over small bugs and other problems but to tell you the truth I am always amazed games work as well as they do. I sure as heck couldn't do it! Tip the hat to all of the OBS guys & gals and all the others too.

August 23, 20214 yr So... You'll do the coding for my game? Unobtrusively informing you about my new ebook (which you should feel free to read and shower with praise).
August 23, 20214 yr Game design is a b--ch, especially for beginners. Not only does it need to be highly successful to generate a profit, but when you think you've created something great and it turns out to be bland upon playing it. I read that somewhere, some small team was mesmerized that they actually got something functional completed but then realized that the gameplay was very boring and would get bad reception. I'll pass on a career in game development, but mad respect for all the studios and modders out there who give us content.
